Year of Soulemama: Some Sewing + Eating

I know it's only month one, but we are so very much enjoying our "Year of Soulemama" as we follow along with the months in her new book, The Rhythm of Family: Discovering a Sense of Wonder through the Seasons. 

Remember the berry muffins (that I declared to be the very best berry muffin recipe ever!)?  Well we've enjoyed several dozen of them already.  And with so many muffins around the house, I decided we needed some of Amanda's muffin bags around here too. 

Amanda's pattern is quick and simple and makes a perfect gift too!  I used tea towels, per the book's recommendations, and was able to put together this bag in less than 20 minutes.  Once I filled it with bagels from a friend's favorite shop, it was off to brighten someone's birthday.  Voila. 

Next up, a few muffin bags for me too!  I've got a batch of the Berry Muffins in the oven right now.  Maybe I can get a bag done before the timer goes off . . .
